Hi, I’m Ange!

Five years ago, another mom mentioned she didn't know where to find things to do in the area, and that simple conversation sparked something in me.

At the time, I was a stay-at-home mom to a three-year-old, and we spent our days adventuring throughout the county exploring playgrounds, visiting libraries, discovering local farms, and embracing all that this area had to offer. 

It became my goal to help other families love where they live just as much as we do.

This page has been my passion project ever since. From our favorite play spaces and small businesses to the farms we can't get enough of, each adventure tells a story about why Harford County and the surrounding areas are so incredibly special.

Whether you're new to the area or you've been here forever, I'm so glad you're here.

Let's explore HarCo together!
